`comedi_write()` is the handler for the "write" file operation for COMEDI devices. It mostly runs without using the main mutex of the COMEDI device, but uses the `attach_lock` rw_semaphore to protect against the COMEDI device becoming "detached". A file object can write data for a COMEDI asynchonous command if it initiated the command. The COMEDI subdevice is marked as busy when the command is started. At some point, the "write" handler detects that the command has terminated and so marks the subdevice as non-busy. In order to mark the subdevice as non-busy, the "write" handler needs to release the `attach_lock` rw_semaphore and `acquire the main `mutex`. There is a vulnerable point between the two, so it checks that the device is still attached after acquiring the mutex. However, it does not currently check that the conditions for becoming non-busy still hold. Add some more checks that the subdevice is still busy with a command initiated by the same file object, and that the command is in the correct direction (in case the subdevice supports both "read" and "write").
